must have went to the other one because we didn’t see them anywhere.
    “That was mom, they were at the mall in the valley. I guess the girls wanted to shop for the baby, so they have a surprise for us. I bet you a foot rub, that not only the girls bought stuff but our mothers also.”
    “Hmm, a foot rub? Is that all you have Mrs. Ellis? I thought you would want something more than that. So if I win, what will I get in return? I’m thinking something along the lines of you and me, and some baby oil.”
    “Jesus Liam, don’t talk like that you know my hormones are all sorts of crazy up right now, you have me dripping just by talking like that. Good God, you’re so fucking sexy.”
    She says as she bites her lip, and squirms in the seat next to me.
    “Oh hell , really? Because we can sure go take care of it right now, I will find the closest hotel. But then what about the bet?”
    “I’m hungry . We can eat, go to Starbucks, and go see Ads. Then we see who wins, if I win, I want that foot massage while I lay nude in a bed with you, and you nude too, of course. If you win, I will rub us both down in baby oil and we can do whatever you want.”
    “Whatever I want? Hmm, you sure you want to offer that? Because you know you have a freaky ass husband who loves taking you where I can.”
    “Uh-huh, whatever your heart desires. But I think I got this, I know our mothers. Now let’s eat. Food, baby bean needs his food and so does his momma.”
     
     
    LILA
     
    We go through the Starbucks drive-thru and Liam orders three Vanilla Bean Frappuccino’s with caramel drizzle. We drive to the cemetery, he and I both sit next to Addison’s tomb and drink our drinks. I know he misses her, hell, I can’t go a day without thinking about her. She was my sister, not by blood but by our rules, she was my bitch, my bestie, and just my fucking person. You know like Grey and Yang, on Greys Anatomy. That was our favorite show. We spent every Thursday night with a bag of popcorn, a gallon of sweet tea, and Twizzler’s, in our pj’s, that was us. Until some bastard decided to play God and take her and my niece or nephew.
    “Lila, I will walk around and let you have your time, and then I will. Okay?” Liam says as he kisses my cheek. I look at him and smile as he walks away. God, I love that man more than he would ever know.
    “Hey Ads, I miss you so damn much. Well I know you were there in my dream. I could see and hear you. Thank you for that, we brought you your favorite Frappuccino. They really don’t taste the same as they did when we got them daily. Ahh, as you probably know, I fucked up again. I let my damn vajayjay talk for me. Now this beautiful baby boy, I’m carrying may be Evan’s. Yeah, I slept with him, since Liam has been back. Three, well four times actually.
    “ I don’t know why I love him so much, not as I do your cousin, but Ads I do love Evan. But I’ve made a promise to Liam and our marriage get him out of my head and out of my heart for good. I know you would understand. No one gets me, you did though. I miss you so much, I need you more than I have ever needed you, I can’t talk to Nikki the way we talked. It’s not the same.
    “ Do you remember that time, we sat on your bed after Shane broke my heart and we pranked called his ass all night. I think we smoked two packs of Marlboro reds that night. We listened to Garth Brooks all night. Your mom was so pissed when she woke up and found all her cigarettes gone. I thought for sure she would find out it was us, but as always, Ashton took the fall.
    “ You would be so proud of him Ads he is doing well and taking care of his family. He, your dad, and Liam all run the Winery together Liam works from home most of the time, and he enjoys it. Eric still misses you, I can tell. He has moved on, it took him a while and I still don’t think he is too sure about her, but hell there will never be another Addison Ellis.
    “ Well my little Addison Michelle Ellis,
